The unmistakable sighting of Stephen Quinn walking into St Pauls Hotel followed closely by Paul Aldridge today. Announcement tomorrow maybe? Just returning from hamstring injury

He lives in sheffield I've seen him in meadowhall a few times

Sounds about right. getting another hull player fit then p. g off back. typical! We're more like the northern general

I really hope we can sign Matty Fryatt on a permanent deal we haven't had a Proper Prolific Goal Scorer for years.

Not likely as Quinn is part of the first team.

Hang on, what's that I see - oh yes, flying pink elephants. No chance of Fryatt!

We probably do more rehabilitation than the Northern General!

Yeah theirs no way Milan will put big money up front he's going to sell us asap he wants a profit and he's waiting for the right buyer dosnt anyone listen too him?

Hes talking about signing loans or frees to add to the wage bill, because when he sells us he won't be paying it.

If he forks out 700k upfront cash for a player that's 700k gone from his profit in us that's how it works.

So wage bill only lads that's loans and frees, start thinking of players I am sure Milan and Paul both read this forum hoping for some divine inspiration

To 700k upfront -- that's not quite how it works.
Players are shown as assets on the balance sheet, so what "money signings" do is push up the value/asking price of the club. Milan could get all that money back if he can sell for more money - that is his worry I guess.
There is an argument, a case for investment in quality players to make the club a more attractive proposition for a prospective buyer, because it means they have less need to spend immediately they takeover.
But I think MM has clearly chosen the alternative route of minimal investment to keep the price down.
Like most things in business, you pays your money, or you don't, and you takes your chance?

I work at St Pauls and both Sheffield Teams conduct meetings here. Could be true

Hull have just confirmed they have rejected a bid by SWFC for Matty Fryatt.

Thats right and we seem to be running out of forwards now that Conner has one back, and now we need two forwards. Mr. C

I can see him coming though, maybe one more bid - although knowing MM, it'll have to be a vastly improved one - Jelavic and Long just gone there, how many forwards do they need? Fryatt looked decent against Southend at the weekend, too.

I hope we didn't bid 'silly money' MM needs to be realistic - quality costs

Bruce didn't say he was not for sale though, it is rumoured Hull are after another striker so Fryatt will be surplus. He will go somewhere this week

Wednesdays bid for fryatt was a loan one

Looks like SG's first job is to find someone to replace CW although it was always going to happen. Still think that what we have now they believe is ok until injury and suspensions kick in

According to Hull we've only offered to loan him. Surely with the FA cup run we can afford to stick a 300k bid in. To secure him for 3 years this would be a bargain.

Just been on sunderland rumours and they believe wickham going to brighton in a swap deal

Our bid was NOT for loan it was to buy, You can hear the interview with Bruce yourself on Audioboo.
He also gave the impression that its not over yet, he said there's plenty of time until friday?
Not for the first time the papers don't QUITE get the facts right!

No it was for loan listen to it

I did listen you obviously didn't - we made a bid to buy! No confusion in what Bruce says.
We will sign Fryatt on a contract before the deadline because he wants to come here and he won't sign a new contract at Hull now they've signed two more strikers. Just a case of reaching the deal!

He actually says enquiry so could be either!

It was a loan. All the news sources are saying so. Bruce said he will only leave if a team bids to buy him. They key figure is near the 750k mark. In short you cannot afford him.

I reckon £400-500K would get Fryatt he's going to go for free in a few months and they've just spent big money on two strikers.

Connor wickham will extend loan spell today heard it from the horses mouth yesterday

Which horse hi ho silver and away or what is Mr Ed, for all those out there who didn't know Mr Ed look it up

Gone back to Sunderland today.

Hope so!

You talk rubbish he's been recalled

So what's all this about him being recalled by Sunderland then?

Now feel like Private Fraiser!

Neigh neigh don't believe it!

Yes we are trying to extend it, even says on ssn, however he has just been recalled by Sunderland. i'm a liitle worried and just hope we can get someone in before Barnsley game, which is a massive game

Not a very clever horse, he's been recalled!

WRONG he's been recalled

What horse was that? He has just gone back to Sunderland!

Conor has been recalled back to Sunderland
We just don't learn

Already Gone back!

Just been recalled by sunderland

Thats funny he's off to forest mate

What horse was that. red rum?

Apparently extension had been agreed then Sunderland changed their mind and decided wanted to play him. So original poster probably had heard story. Gray said at press conference on Monday morning he as confident loan would be extended (had been agreed Friday). Then recalled within hour of press confeence.

Wickham has gone back its on our website. and we have had a 300k offer for fryatt turned down.
